There’s something undeniably special about autumn weddings — the warm, golden tones, the cosy atmosphere, and that sense of celebration as the seasons shift. Katie and James’ wedding at One Warwick Park in Tunbridge Wells embraced all of this beautifully. From relaxed morning preparations to a full on party atmosphere for evening reception, their day was full of laughter, joy and a hint of craziness.


The day began at One Warwick Park, where both the bridal party and guests were welcomed by the hotel’s stylish interiors and softly lit spaces. Katie got ready with her bridesmaids in the one of the bright and spacious luxury suites, surrounded by Family, & Friends creating an excited morning buzz. Katie’s dress was modern, understated and full of movement — perfect for the relaxed, joyful feel of the day. Meanwhile, James and his groomsmen were just a short walk away, adjusting buttonholes before guests began to arrive.


One of the standout moments of the morning was the arrival of their guests on a classic red London Routemaster bus. It set the tone instantly — fun, relaxed and full of personality — and there was something really special about everyone arriving together, smiling, chatting and ready for the day ahead.


The ceremony took place in the beautifully light-filled Gallery space. As Katie walked down the aisle, the room fell into that quiet, emotional stillness that says everything about the moment. The rings had been placed under two unsuspecting guests chairs who became unexpected ring bearers.


After the ceremony, Katie and James travelled in a vintage Rolls Royce to nearby Dunorlan Park for their couple portraits. The autumn colours were at their best, with warm sunlight filtering through the trees — the perfect natural backdrop.

Returning to One Warwick Park, guests gathered for the drinks reception, filling the lounge and bar spaces with laughter and conversation. The wedding breakfast room looked incredible — candlelight, seasonal flowers and thoughtful details throughout.


As evening fell, the celebrations shifted into full swing. Katie and James took their first dance surrounded by family and friends before the dancefloor filled and stayed lively well into the night. It was warm, joyful and completely full of energy — the perfect end to a truly beautiful autumn wedding.




Looking Back



Katie and James’ day was a perfect example of how to make the most of One Warwick Park — stylish, relaxed, and wonderfully intimate, while still being right in the heart of Tunbridge Wells. Add in classic travel touches like the Routemaster and Rolls Royce, and the beauty of Dunorlan Park in autumn, and the day was awesome.


To Katie and James — thank you for letting me capture it all. It was a joy from start to finish.
